1/6 Indy Customizations: Image Thread

[Rogerbee]

Hi folks,

I bought an SSC Henry Jones last night and want to swap out the body for a TT, the question is which one?

The Advanced would be a good match for Connery's physique, but, I'm worried about him looking neckless with his shirt on. If any of you have used either this or a Narrow for him, please could you post some pics so I know which TT to get.

CHEERS!

PS (Indy is progressing nicely)

Hi All

Indiana - Great work on getting the flesh tones right mate well done and love the tough German Sarg, what head did you use for him.

Rogerbee - I got myself the TTL 3.0 and was trying it with my Henry Snr head and it look good. The only down side is that you will have to do a little work to get the SS neck post to fit.

Also noce pick up with the pistol and thanks for the link.

Thanks. Hemble, that German Srgt. was some bald head from BBi. I sanded the cheeks down and sculpted the hair.

 

[hemble]

Thanks for the info Indiana I'll have to look around for a close enough sculpt.

Hemble, here is the figure that I used.

Thanks mate I didn't even think of looking at monkey depot I'll have to browse and see what else I can find.

As I'm using an HT body for Indy, Henry has to be just as tall. In terms of the look and clothing fit, I've decided to get a Narrow TT and use the neck that Henry comes with. If this neck isn't long enough then I'll get an Advanced one.

This is the DML Jurgen:

I think he looks pretty close, he's also quite cheap when you search eBay.

CHEERS!

Hey, custom Indy related question. What do you think a pair of New Line Indy boots are worth?

 

[ShortRound]

Last pair i bought here went for $45 shipped. That was last year. Don't know what they'd go for now.

 

[thedarkknight]

That much? I have an extra pair that I recently rediscovered. Didn't think it would be that high.

 

[Rogerbee]

Hang onto them for now, then charge what you like when people want them for their DX Indys!

CHEERS!

 

[ShortRound]

I have a feeling it will be the opposite. The dx looks pretty good to me. May need a little repaint. But they look promising.

 

[Commtech]

Even though the craftmanship of the new lines is amazing, they've always seemed off scale, a bit big in my eyes. I think the DX boots will be the best ones so far for our Indys.
Still, I would love to own a pair of new lines for my collection.

 

[Rogerbee]

To me, the DX ones look exaggerated. They just don't look like the pics I've seen of real Aldens. The ones that look closest to the real ones that I've seen so far are the Hasbro ones, you repaint them and they do look really nice.

CHEERS!

When you DO repaint something, how do you seal it so the paint doesn't rub off? Anyone have something they recommend?

 

[bmarz1000]

I have newlines and they are AWESOME! Still, I saved my Hasbro boots for a repaint down the road for another Indy custom. They are very accurately detailed.

Hey Sham, I believe Testors Dulcote is the product of choice for most painters.

 

[ShortRound]

Yup testors is it.

Thanks Marf!

 

[Rogerbee]

The fixative I use for pastels seems to do the job.

CHEERS!
